Yeah I'm curious too. Was it over money? De Vries has been on it all year, although has had a bit of bad luck especially with what 3 stalls on the grid now? But podiums in the last 2 races, 1st in Monaco, 2nd in Baku. Racing Engineering have been struggling big time with both drivers. Although Nato and King shared 4 wins for them last season, they don't seem to have that speed this year. Malja was good a few times last year, came really close to winning one race (was it Spa) - usually quicker in race pace than qualy. Then he moves to Racing Engineering and has struggled, apart from a podium at Monaco. So why on earth would De Vries want a reset and move to a new team mid-season that has been performing much worse than his current team? Especially Deletraz's side of the garage. Deletraz has looked like an above average driver in previous series, so one could wonder if it's the engineer and not Deletraz at all...
But it probably is Deletraz, so why on earth would Rapax want him? They might as well just park the car up, he's unlikely to get points. He's been the worst performer this year by far, and that's saying a lot with the way Fuoco's been getting cleaned up by Leclerc.
Anyway, I see in first qualifying: De Vries 6th (best start of the year for that car by far, Deletraz' best was 11th), meanwhile Deletraz 13th (worst start for that car, De Vries worst was 10th). Spa qualy was a bit unusual though with the rain so maybe it would have changed.
